Hang On Little Tomato

I sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the mirror on the door and sketched this first portrait of myself -- I was about 30. Looks pretty serious, but it takes intense looking to get yourself flowing through your eyes, down your arm, into your hand and onto the paper.

Now, so many years later I wanted to give it a title--which is tricky business--and the song "Hang on Little Tomato" happens to be the tune that I find myself humming. Here is a video of that song -- she begins to sing about halfway into it. See the lyrics at the bottom.
